Guild Phase 2 & Guild Testing Program

"In addition to phase 2, we're also going to be starting up a guild testing program. We're obviously continuing to expand out invites for testing and we're going to start including guilds in that list. So if anyone is interested, I don't know if that is something people would be involved in or not. It's more about trying to get an entire group of people who enjoy playing together into the game together. As we've said before, guild testing invites are random and so you get some people grouping up and playing together but it's nice to have an entire guild there playing together so they can plan out...they can be more coordinated in-game which really helps us see how that is going to happen at launch when you have all of those guilds in the game, playing the game."

continuing to expand out invites for testing
That line righ there. Most exciting part for me. After about 3 years of being signed up i still haven't gotten an invite...oh well. Heres to hoping i get an invite or get in on that september thing.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
same here whilan, same here
LOl yea you and 500,000 out there who havent played you shouldnt take it personally...
lol i don't take it personally, but after all this time i'm just itching to get some play time. XD
Same. I had an account on their site within the first ten minutes, and signed up for testing within minutes after it was available.
I've been chomping at the bit for years here. The anticipation is driving me freakin NUTS.
Cool, too bad my old SWG guild is not really very active over there. If they got picked, I would be the only one playing...Maybe I need to find a new guild lol.
I think it's WAY north of a million signed up now (that was the figure SR used in like April)
Doctordake tweeted today that Guild testing has started, and that they'll be putting a post up soon about it.
david bass has posted the guild testing details:
DavidBass Guild Hall -> Guild Testing Program Details
We are very pleased to announce the start of Guild Testing for STAR WARS: The Old Republic! This program will allow guilds to be considered as a whole for inclusion in the Game Testing Program, allowing us to gather important data regarding how guilds play The Old Republic, as well as how organized groups deal with various mechanics and systems in the game. The program is already underway, as we’ve invited the first wave of guilds into testing, however we’ll be adding more over the coming weeks alongside the general Game Testing invites.
How do I sign my guild up for Guild Testing?
All you need to do in order to have your guild considered for Guild Testing is to have an active guild with at least 10 members registered in our Guild Headquarters. We also recommend creating a recruitment thread on our forums, but please make sure you are following the Recruitment Guidelines we’ve set forward. Guilds that spam recruitment messages after multiple warnings, for example, will not be considered for Guild Testing.
How are guilds selected for Guild Testing?
In general, guild testing is done randomly from all eligible guilds (that is, those with at least 10 registered members in the Guild Headquarters). Throughout the program, we will be looking to let in both large and small guilds, so as long as your guild meets the minimum requirement, you have an equal chance of being invited to testing. In addition, we may, at our discretion, choose a few select guilds that are active and helpful in the community, since we could use that sort of helpfulness in-game and on the Testing Forums. Note that this will be done in rare circumstances, in order to reward our dedicated community members. Please do not contact any BioWare staff requesting access to Guild Testing, or else your guild may be removed from consideration.
How do I know if my guild has been selected for Guild Testing?
Guild leaders will be contacted directly with detailed instructions when their guild gets selected for testing. It'll be their job to pass the appropriate information to the rest of their guild in order for everyone to be sent testing invites.
What is involved in Guild Testing?
Guild Testing works the same way as Game Testing does, however by being invited as a guild, you gain the advantage of being in the same testing group and being on the same server, allowing for more coordination amongst the guild for testing group content. You’ll still be a part of the general Game Testing population as well, and will have access to the general testing forums as everyone else does.
Are European guilds eligible for Guild Testing?
European Guild Testing will begin at the same time the European Testing Program begins in the near future.
If you have any other questions about the program, feel free to post in this thread or email us at guilds@swtor.com. Again, please do not contact us asking for Guild Testing consideration or your guild may not be considered for testing.
I wonder how many unguilded players are going to join guilds just to try to get into testing. Chances are still slim but I guess that gives you another way in, me I'll just wait till launch before joining any guilds. I like to get the feel for the game and the server community first before making any type of guild commitments.
yea same here.
FIGHT is recruiting
